a) difficulty
b) time consumption
c) enjoyment
in the words of my teacher: 'doing extension 1 is almost a 2 unit course... doing extension 2 is almost a 3 unit course... actually extension 2 reminds me of a phd at uni...'
they're both as easy or as hard as you want them to be... but if you want a mark that stands out, it's a lot of work, not necessarily difficult...
both take up quite a bit of time... again, as much or as little as you put in... english ext 2 is a big time bitch... it eats up your time like crazy... advantage: it's over before the hsc, therefore less units to worry about, also, most schools don't have many formal classes for the subject - we have a one-on-one period once a week...
ext 1: depends on whether you like the module you do...
ext 2: all freedom to YOU... look in the forums if you think it appeals to you... and GET RESEARCHING NOW! you can never have enough research...
if you think you can handle ext 1 eng AND ext 1 math... or even ext 2 eng... thats okay... there's sum chick at my school doing 4u math, 3u music, 3u jap and eng, but be realistic about how hard you can work continuously... don't burn out...
